DecapitationDecapitationDecapitation is the complete separation of the head from the body.
Such an injury is usually fatal to humans and most animals, since it
deprives all other organs of the involuntary functions that are needed
for the body to function, while the brain is deprived of oxygenated
blood.
The term beheading refers to the act of deliberately decapitating a
person, either as a means of murder or execution; it may be
accomplished with an axe, sword, knife, or by mechanical means such as
a guillotine. An executioner who carries out executions by beheading
is called a headsman.[1] Accidental decapitation can be the result of
an explosion,[2] car or industrial accident,[note 1] improperly
administered execution by hanging or other violent injury

Logbook
A logbook (a ship's logs or simply log) is a record of important
events in the management, operation, and navigation of a ship. It is
essential to traditional navigation, and must be filled in at least
daily.
The term originally referred to a book for recording readings from the
chip log that was used to estimate a ship's speed through the water.
Today's ship's log has grown to contain many other types of
information, and is a record of operational data relating to a ship or
submarine, such as weather conditions, times of routine events and
significant incidents, crew complement or what ports were docked at
and when.
The term logbook has spread to a wide variety of other usages. Today,
a virtual or electronic logbook is typically used for record-keeping
for complex machines such as nuclear plants or particle accelerators.
In military terms, a logbook is a series of official and legally
binding documents

H. G. Wells
Herbert George Wells[3][4] (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946),
usually referred to as H. G. Wells, was an English writer. He was
prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and
works of social commentary, satire, biography, and autobiography,
including even two books on war games. He is now best remembered for
his science fiction novels and is often called a "father of science
fiction", along with
Jules VerneJules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.[5][6][a]
During his own lifetime, however, he was most prominent as a
forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary
talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale.
A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent
of airplanes, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite
television and something resembling the World Wide Web.[7] His science
fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and
biological engineering

Solicitor
A solicitor is a legal practitioner who traditionally deals with most
of the legal matters in some jurisdictions. A person must have
legally-defined qualifications, which vary from one jurisdiction to
another, to be described as a solicitor and enabled to practise there
as such. For example, in
England and WalesEngland and Wales a solicitor is admitted to
practise under the provisions of the Solicitors Act 1974. With some
exceptions, practising solicitors must possess a practising
certificate. There are many more solicitors than barristers in
England; they undertake the general aspects of giving legal advice and
conducting legal proceedings.[1]

advocates in some countries), and a lawyer will usually only hold one

entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the
course of a day or other period. A personal diary may include a
person's experiences, and/or thoughts or feelings, including comments
on current events outside the writer's direct experience. Someone who

intended to remain private or to have a limited circulation amongst
friends or relatives
